This popular Cranberry Orange Muffin recipe has been carefully crafted to provide maximum nutritional benefit without sacrificing flavor and healthy enjoyment. The health benefits include: Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, and Paleo.
The recipe makes 15 muffins because each time I tried to change the amount of batter, the muffins didn’t turn out as well as this exact recipe. I ended up just placing the 3 extra silicone muffin cups on top of the filled muffin tin (each at a joint between 4 muffins in the tin). … If I overfilled the silicone cups, the muffins would cook over the edges and were impossible to remove.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need for 15 muffins:
1.5 cups + 2 tbsp almond flour
3 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla powder (vanilla extract works also)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 ripe banana
1 tbsp orange zest (zest of 2 naval oranges)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 large eggs
3 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup fresh cranberries
xylitol for garnish
I happen to have xylitol in the pantry, so if you don’t you can either skip it or use a pinch of sugar. I love the extra hint of sweetness on top since cranberries are quite tart.
